"King Tiger" is an Allied nickname for this tank. The Germans never called it that. "King Tiger" would be ''Königlicher Tiger.''. ''Königstiger'' means Bengal Tiger. Get it right.--[[User:GMFrazer|GMFrazer]] 20:47, 2 November 2012 (EDT)

Actually, Tiger II is the common name of it. The official German designation was ''Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B''; shortened to Tiger B. It was also known as ''Königstiger'', which in German does mean "Bengal tiger", as you note; however, to Allied intelligence and soldiers during the war (and as written still in many English language books) it is known as (and translated as) King Tiger or Royal Tiger. --[[User:JohnJustice|JohnJustice]] 11:42, 3 November 2012 (EDT)
